"SNIP.....

The House Judiciary Committee is continuing its effort to enforce a subpoena for former White House counsel Don McGahn in order to determine “whether to recommend additional articles of impeachment” against President Trump for conduct not covered in the articles approved last week, Axios reports.

CNBC: “Democrats have been fighting in court for months to enforce a subpoena for McGahn to testify as part of the impeachment proceedings in Congress. They argue that McGahn’s testimony is ‘central’ to parts of the House committee’s investigation into Trump, which is not yet complete even though the Democrat-led chamber passed two articles of impeachment against him last week.”

Truthfully - they could keep holding trials right up until late December of next year.

If Mitch McConnell is going to turn the Senate trial into a kangaroo trial engineered to acquit Trump, then the House should hold on to the articles of impeachment, then investigate and impeach some more. There's no way that doesn't cause things to go badly for the Republicans.

However investigations by the democratic majority House should continue until election day 2020.
That keeps doofus-45 under cloud with impeachment hanging over his head like the sword of Damocles.
